A tribute blog to my beloved Aqa Moula (TUS). A humble offering of a 'guldasta' of my 50 articles, which I intend to offer as Hadiyah in Shukr. Also some fond memories associated with my life over 50 eventful years.

MOULANA SAATH SAATH

Memories with my Moula over 50 glorious years. The smiling young one between bewe Moulas has witnessed the glorious and eventful 50 years. At the Shabab outing managed to evoke smile on Moula's radiant face, with a silly Chinese skit. At the Star Sporting Club outing got a walk the talk opportunity. Treasured memories.

AKHBAR IS ANWAAR - PART 5

After
the frantic search had slowed by the Quraish, Abdullah bin Uraiqit who was a
trusted guide, came to the cave with two camels and Muhammad (SA) departed with
food provisions for the onward journey through the seldom used ways along the
coastal route.

That was in Rabi'ul Awwal 1st year A.H. September 16, 622 C.E. After traveling
through many villages they finally reached Quba on Monday , 8th
Rabi'ul Awaal ie: September 23rd 622 AC in the forteenth year of
Prohpethood.

The
shouts of Allahu Akbar resounded
amongst the Muslims, whose joys knew no bounds as they show they beloved Nabi
(SA) emerging out of the desert mirage, from their look out point at Harrah.
They had been going there each morning, and waiting till noon to catch the
glimpse of the Prophet (SA).

Muhaamad
(SA) stayed in Quba for 4 days. He built the Masjid and prayed there. Moulana
Ali (SA) stayed back in Makkah for three days to return the trusts on behalf of
the Prophet (SA) to their respective owners, and emigrated thereafter and
reached Quba.

On
the fifth day Friday he accompanied by his maternal uncles Bani An-Najjar and
others, he rode towards Madinah amidst throngs of joyous Madiense, who had
lined his path.

Though
not wealthy, every Ansar (helper) was eager to receive the
Messenger in his house. It was indeed a triumphal procession. Around the camel
of Muhammad (SA) and his immediate followers, rode the chiefs of the city in
their best garments and in glittering armor, the little girls chanting
beautiful verses of welcome.

Every
one pleading with Muhammad (SA) as he passed their houses to alight and stay
with them. Muhammad (SA) used to reply courteously and kindly to each of them
" Leave it (camel) on its way, for it is commanded (by Allah)"

The
camel moved onward with loosed rein, reached the site were Masjid ul – Nabawi
will be built. The camel knelt down, but Muhammad (SA) did not dismount, until
the camel rose again, moved forward, turned back, and came back to kneel down
in the very former spot. At this spot, Muhammad (SA) alighted in the area
inhabited by Banu An-Najjar, a tribe related to the Prophet (SA) from the
maternal side.

The
fortunate host Abu Ayyub Ansari, whose house was the nearest to the spot
escorted Muhammad (SA) to his dwelling. The first task to which Muhammad (SA)
attended was the building of the Masjid, at the spot where his camel had knelt
down. The land which belonged to two orphans was purchased, the ground was
cleared of weeds and shrubs, and leveled. Muhammad (SA) himself carried bricks
and stones and recited verses, in praise of Allah.

A
brotherhood between the Ansar ( Helpers) and Muhajirun
(Emigrants) was established, the most unique in the history of the world. A
gathering of 90 men, half of them Helpers and half of them Emigrants assembled
in the house of Anas bin Malik, where Muhammad (SA) gave the spirit of
brotherhood his blessings.

Muhammad
(SA) attached to that brotherhood a valid contract : it was not just
meaningless words but rather a valid practice relating to blood and wealth. The
atmosphere of brotherhood created a spirit of selflessness infused deeply in the
hearts of his followers, and produced healthy results.

The
Helpers were extremely generous to their brethren –in-faith. Abu Hurairah
reported that once the Helpers approached the Prophet (SA) with the request
that their orchards of palm trees, should be distributed equally between the
Muslims of Madinah and their brethren from Makkah. But Muhammad (SA) was hesitant
to put this heavy burden on them. It was, however, decided that the Emigrants
would work in the orchards along with
the Helpers and the yield would be divided equally among them.

The
Emigrants took only what helped them make a reasonable living. This mutual
brotherhood was so wise and timely, that many problems were resolved, and
progress achieved wonderfully.

About Me

Being born a Saggitarius,I try to live by the dictates of my stars - that is to say, I like to clown around, avoid morons, look forward to meet interesting and charming persons. Social work is a passion and takes precedence over every thing,it gives me a 'high'without getting into trouble with the long arm of the law. In the words of K.Geetha Menon
I was born in a crack in the concrete,
Sun and rain alternated,
I became a botanist's dream.
Yet the guilllotine is awaited by me,
For the palce of my birth, was not the coveted pot !!!
